Serving clients injured in all types of auto accidents
We represent victims of all types of auto accidents and strive to maximize the financial compensation victims receive for all the losses they have endured, from property damage to emotional turmoil.
- Head-on collisions occur when two vehicles strike each other coming from opposite directions. These crashes can happen when a driver drifts into oncoming traffic, either intentionally to pass, or unintentionally as a result of intoxication, distraction, or drowsiness. Head-on collisions are extremely dangerous.
- T-bone or broadside crashes occur when one driver hits another at a right angle. These accidents often result when one driver ignores or misses a stop sign or traffic signal, driving recklessly into a heavily-trafficked intersection.
- Rear-end collisions, or “fender-benders,” can cause severe neck and back injury, including whiplash syndrome. If you were involved in a rear-end crash, see a doctor immediately to ensure that you do not have an untreated injury.
- Rollover accidents are accidents in which a vehicle tips or flips over onto its roof or side. They are extremely dangerous. Rollover accidents are more common with larger vehicles with a high center of gravity, and occur frequently in poor road conditions involving rain, sleet, or ice.
- Hit-and-run accidents happen when a driver who has caused damage to another person’s vehicle/crashed into another vehicle flees the scene. Once you have called an ambulance, you should document any information you have on the vehicle. You should also look for witnesses.
- Uninsured driver accidents can be stressful. Be sure to contact your insurance agency and let them know that you were hit by an uninsured driver. If you were in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may need to look for other sources of compensation. When this is the case, it’s important to have an experienced attorney on your side.
These accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, including distracted/drunk driving, speeding, texting/calling at the wheel, falling asleep at the wheel, or others. Whatever type of accident you were in, we will advocate on your behalf and help you get compensated for the full cost of your accident.
